The game could've ended in a tie when Burger hit a DP grounder to short but beat the throw to 1st to keep the inning alive. Ramos came up next with his swinging bunt up the 3rd base line to score the runner score Erick Gonzalez from 3rd who had walked after 1 out.

Sox had 6 steals and 1 caught stealing.  2 successful double steals.

Grifol managed the game down to the last batter.  LH Duke Ellis ,who was the only one to get caught stealing,  was supposed to hit but a LHP was on the mound so Grifol PH Ramos. I'm sure some of managers would've let Ellis get his 1st AB and settled for the tie but he put Ramos in a position to succeed and he came through.

Positions to succeed…man will that be refreshing.

Gotta credit Burger for the hustle too seemed like a pretty routine DP ball. He's not slow. Surprised he hasn't expanded his horizons to LF . I always wonder if his Achilles is pain free now.
